Inside the newly erected green
privacy fencing thats visible from
the RV Park at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Hue-
neme, a village has taken shape.
But this time, the Seabees didnt
build it, and Sailors arent using
it.
Centered in and around Build-
ing 267 is temporary housing for
up to 575 teenagers caught trying
to enter the United States ille-
gally and without an adult
children the federal government
calls unaccompanied alien chil-
dren.
In addition to the 42,000-
square-foot building, there are
catering trucks, dining tents, por-
table bathrooms and a dirt soccer
field.
The Department of Health and
Human Services (HSS) runs the
facility through its Office of Ref-
ugee Resettlement. Except for the
fact that it sits on NBVC Port
Hueneme land, the Navy has
nothing to do with it.
Fifteen media outlets, including
The Lighthouse, toured the facil-
ity Thursday, June 12. Cameras,
cell phones and recording de-
vices were not allowed, and re-
Bldg. 267 expected to reach capacity this week
Its a temporary shelter for up to 575 teens
caught crossing the border without adult

Photos like this are why MC1 Chris Fahey of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 was named Navy
Journalist of the Year and MC of the Year (Sea) for 2013. For this photo, shot May 3 of last year during
the Springs Fire in Ventura County, Fahey leaned out the side window of a helicopter. It felt like
someone was physically trying to rip my camera from my hand, Fahey said. For more of the portfolio
that earned him the awards and the stories behind the photos see Pages 16 and 17.
HANGING OUT FOR THE BEST PHOTO
New surfboards, new stand-up
paddleboards, 10 colorful newkay-
aks and half a dozen pop-up camp-
ers that can be towed into beach-
side campgrounds are among the
new rentals available at the Out-
door Adventure Center at Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
Rental prices range from $15 a
day for a surfboard, $20 a day for
a kayak and $55 a day for the new
Aliner camper.
In addition, the center has new
management and new staff.
The thing for people to remem-
ber is that in addition to all this
new equipment, we still have the
Center offers
new kayaks,
paddleboards

Q: With news broadcasts this week of more than 150
teenagers being temporarily sheltered at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) with more to come, might
there be an opportunity to volunteer with the agency
overseeing these children? I speak fluent Spanish and
would love to help out.
A: Thank you for your generous offer. Weve had a
great outpouring of support from the community since
it was announced that NBVC would be one of the De-
partment of Defense sites supporting the Department of
Health and Human Services mission to care for unac-
companied children who have crossed the border into
the United States. Your desire to help reflects credit on
you and the community.
At this time, the federal agencies supporting these
facilities are unable to accept donations or volunteers
to assist the unaccompanied children program.
Several refugee resettlement non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) in the U.S. are accepting mone-
tary donations and, in some cases, experienced vol-
unteers to assist incoming refugee families, although
not specifically unaccompanied children, in support
of the effort of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program
at the State Department. Information, by state, for
refugee resettlement NGOs can be found at the State
Departments Refugee Processing Center (RPC) web
page at http://www.wrapsnet.org/Home/RPAgencyCon-
tacts or the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR)
web page at www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/orr/state-pro-
grams-annual-overview.
Do you have questions, comments, or sugges-
tions? I want to hear them! Reach me here by emailing
lighthouse@navy.mil, on Facebook at www.facebook.
com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty or on Twitter at www.
twitter.com/NBVCCalifornia. You can also go online to
our homepage at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm
and use the Commanding Officers Suggestion Box. I
look forward to hearing from you.
Does the temporary shelter at NBVC need donations or volunteers?w

fitness fanatic.
Also participating will be the Navy Ex-

Siler said there will be cooking demon-
strations along with the samples of healthy
foods.
Done right, a Portobello mushroom
can replace a steak, Siler said.
There will be information on good eat-
ing habits and nutritional values, along
with music and giveaways, including gift
cards of up to $50.
We want this event to reinforce the
health and wellness goals of the military
community, Siler said. And we want
everyone to have a good time.

of California-Ventura attended a Battle
of Midway commemoration at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu 72
years after the historic and bloody event
that turned the tide of World War IIs Pa-
cific Theater.
The base personnel were wonderful
and treated our veterans like royalty,said
Lynda Griffin, the supervising rehabilita-
tion therapist who accompanied the vet-
erans to the event, along with two other
staff members. It is an honor for our
Veterans Home to be invited to this event
every year.

Past, present and future have been
blending together lately for Steel-
worker 2nd Class Matthew Rush.
At work, hes restoring a 74-year-
old movie marquee thats headed to
the Seabee Museum. And at home,
he recently welcomed a baby boy,
Jordan, his second child.
The idea that someday he might
take his grown son to see a piece of
World War II history that he helped
restore hasnt been lost on him.
Im glad to be a part of this, he
said.
Rush and other Seabees and civilian
welders at the Construction Equip-
ment Division (CED), Naval Facili-
ties Engineering and Expeditionary
Warfare Center, are currently working
on two parts of the marquee: the base
and the crown.
The marquee was part of the May-
fair, a downtown Ventura theater
built in 1940, the year before Pearl
Harbor was bombed and the United
States entered World War II.
The theater burned in 2000 and was
razed in 2004, but the marquee was
spared and spent a decade in an oth-
erwise empty lot in Ventura. Agroup
Restoration continues on WWII-era marquee

Cmdr. Jeff Lengkeek relieved
Cmdr. Jeff Kilian as commander
of Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 4 during a
change of command ceremony at
Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme Thurs-
day, June 12.
Capt. Dean Tufts, commander
of Naval Construction Group 1,
the guest speaker at the ceremony,
commended Kilian for his excel-
lent performance.
Let me talk about the super-
stars in front of you, said Tufts.
And Im not talking about
[Kilian or Lengkeek]; Imtalking
about the Sailors, the Seabees, the
Air Force and the Marines that
make up NMCB 4. Last year
these men and women completed
$18 million worth of construction
across 27 countries. They did it
all with professionalism, pride
and excellence.
Tufts presented Kilian with the
Meritorious Service Medal for his
outstanding performance as the
commanding officer of NMCB
4 from June 2012 to June 2014.
Before his departure, Kilian
shared his gratitude for the op-
portunity to serve with the Sailors
and families of NMCB 4.
I am leaving with a profound
sense of satisfaction knowing that
we gave it our best, Kilian said.
I was part of an outstanding
battalion that demonstrated the
highest levels of performance
through exemplary character,
preparedness and disciplined ex-
ecution. You did everything I
asked of you and then some. You
exceeded expectation every
time.
Upon assuming command,
Lengkeek spoke of the humbling
experience of taking command
and leading the battalion.
I truly am honored and hum-
bled to be your commanding of-
ficer, said Lengkeek. I look
forward to writing the next chap-
ter of Seabee history with you.
Lengkeek was commissioned in
1995, with his first command be-
ing Naval Air Station Lemoore.
He holds a bachelors degree in
civil engineering fromPennsylva-
nia State University and a mas-
ters in civil engineering from
Stanford University.
Lengkeek has served with Na-
val Support Facility Diego Gar-
cia; NMCB3 at NBVCPort Hue-
neme; 1st Naval Construction
Division in Virginia Beach, Va.;
Naval Station Rota, Spain; Camp
Lemonnier, Djibouti; Command-
er Navy Installations Command,
Washington, D.C., where he
served on the Shore Investment
Strategy Task Force developing
the Chief of Naval Operations
Shore Investment Strategic Guid-
ance; Amphibious Construction
Battalion 1 in San Diego; as the
operations officer of Naval Fa-
cilities Engineering Command
Southwest, also in San Diego;
and the Navy Office of Legisla-
tive Affairs in Washington,

As summer begins, students are usually
excited to leave the books and homework
behind. As appealing as this sounds, it will
often lead to the summer slideof losing
a few months of learning during summer
vacation.
There are many wonderful ways that
students can get out, explore and con-
tinue their learning. Since some students
prefer to stay on a computer or tablet,
parents may want to find some educa-
tional websites for them and encourage
their use.
Ive compiled a few keywords that lead
to educational and free sites. (A reminder
that sometimes free means it will have
ads, so be sure your child knows the rules
about not clicking on them). There are
many more, but here are some to get you
started:
5 and younger
PBS Kids: Children who love Curious
George or The Cat in the Hat will en-
joy this website. It combines many of the
well-loved PBS characters with learning
games. Best of all, PBS is always free of
ads.
National Geographic Little Kids: It is
never too early to ignite an interest in sci-
ence. National Geographic Little Kids
has games, crafts, recipes, science, videos
and animal information.
Grades K-5
National Geographic Kids: Geared for
the 5-and-over crowd, this site features
games, videos, information and really cool
videos. This will definitely keep your chil-
dren engaged.
Spatulatta: Encourage a love of cook-
ing. This website features kid-friendly
cooking with lots of videos and recipes.
Fun Brain: Emphasizing the fun in math
and reading, this website features games
like math baseball and Mad Libs Junior.
Grades 6-8
Pottermore: The author of the Harry
Potter series, J.K. Rowling, created this
site so kids could read the books and use
interactive features and games.
Whyville: A fun and safe place for
tweens to hang out while playing learning
games and socializing.
NGA Kids: If you cant visit museums
in person, heres another option. This
website gives users art adventures and ac-
tivities from the National Gallery of
Art.
High school
TED: Started in 1984 as a conference
where technology, entertainment and de-
sign converged, TED today shares ideas
froma broad spectrumfrom science to
business to global issues in more than
100 languages. The website features videos
and articles.
National Geographic: With maps, cul-
tures and facts from around the world,
this website is a geography and history
lesson wrapped up into one.
The College Board: As a national non-
profit membership association whose mis-
sion is to prepare, inspire and connect
students to college success and opportu-
nity, this site includes SAT preparation,
test dates and information for any college-
bound student.
Any of the above sites can be found
through an Internet search engine, and
that may lead to many others.
Going online for kids does not need to
be only about social media. With so many
websites offering games, interactive videos
and virtual tours of historic places, valu-
able learning can take place online.
For any education-related information,
please visit http://navylifesw.com/ventura/
families/cyp/slo/.
The NBVC school liaison officer can be
contacted at 805-989-5211 or via email at
NBVC_SLO@navy.mil for any K-12 education-
related information.

Worship schedule
By patient, sympathetic labors with the
crew, day in, day out, and through many
a night, every chaplain I know contrib-
uted immeasurably to the moral courage
of our fighting men; none of this appears
in statistics. Most of it necessarily secret
between pastor and confidant. It is for
that toil, in the cause both of God and
country, that I honor the chaplain
most.

The book of Job in the Bible is the
story of a faithful man who lived long
ago. However, tragedy hovers over this
righteous man.
The opening pages explain howJob had
lost just about everything children,
wealth, even his health. He was deeply
grieved and sought comfort from three
of his closest friends: Eliphaz, Bildad and
Zophar.
The Bible records, When three of Jobs
friends heard of the tragedy he had suf-
fered, they got together and traveled from
their homes to comfort and console him.
(Job 2:11, NLT).
Job tried to share his deepest feelings
and concerns with them. Unfortunately,
they didnt listen. Instead, they talked.
Finally, Job says, If only someone would
listen to me! (Job 31:35, NLT).
It is important to be able to be heard.
Chaplains understand this fact of life.
Chaplains provide religious ministry
for members of their own faith groups,
facilitate religious ministry for people of
other faiths and care for all service mem-
bers, family members, Department of
Defense civilians and authorized contrac-
tors with dignity, compassion and respect,
regardless of an individuals faith be-
liefs.
It is equally important to know that
what you share in private is confiden-
tial.
Recently the Chaplain Corps created
a fact sheet on this issue: What you say
to a chaplain in confidence stays between
you and the chaplain; unless you decide
differently, you hold the key
You indeed hold the key.
There are times in our lives when we
face certain existential struggles and we
just need to be heard. Chaplains and
Religious Program Specialists (RPs) have
the obligation and responsibility to pro-
tect and guard what you share in confi-
dence. This level of confidentiality is a
sacred trust. Chaplains are available to
provide you a safe place to talk about
your issues without fear or judgment.
Whatever you share with a chaplain will
remain confidential.
Interestingly, chaplains cannot be com-
pelled by the command, medical profes-
sionals or legal professionals to disclose
what a service member or family member
shares in confidence.
SECNAVINST 1730.9 (4.a) describes
confidential communications this way:
The term confidential communications
includes the legal recognition of the
clergy-penitent privilege, all communica-
tions between Navy chaplains and those
who confide in them as an act of religion,
a matter of conscience or in their role as
spiritual advisers. Commanders and
chaplains are required to honor the con-
fidential relationship between service
personnel and chaplains. This protection
extends to all authorized personnel, and
this obligation extends to all Navy chap-
lains.
Therefore, when life gets tough and
you need to be heard consider speak-
ing with a chaplain.
Chaplains can be reached 24/7. Dont
know who your nearest chaplain is? Call
Navy 311 to request chaplain support in
your area, 1-855-NAVY-311, or text to
Navy311@navy.mil.
Remember, chaplains are here to hear
you; moreover, our confidentiality is un-
breakable. What matters to you, matters
to us!

Sporting a Western theme, this years event will
run 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday, July
14-18, at the Seabee Chapel, Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Port Hueneme. Its for young-
sters 5 to 12 years old; older children and adults
are invited to volunteer to help run the pro-
gram.
Put on yer boots, grab yer hat and yall get
ready for this rip roarin roundup in the Wild

Child care is being provided to volunteers who
have children too young to attend the event. Any-
one interested in volunteering is asked to call the
Seabee Chapel at 982-4358.
Almost time for VBS
Yellow bins to collect non-perishable foods for hungry Ventura
County residents will soon be showing up all across Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) as the Navy once again participates in the gov-
ernment-wide Feds Feed Families campaign.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture leads the campaign, which runs
through the end of August, with support from other federal agencies.
The chaplains office tracks and manages donations.
One of the most quality times spent with family is sitting around
a table having a meal, said Lt. Lesa Welliver, NBVC staff chaplain.
Folks share their day, kids talk about school, and sharing a meal
really unifies families. Were excited about having the opportunity to
help set the table.
While food banks usually see large amounts of food on their shelves
over the winter months, donations typically trail off after the holi-
days.
By the time summer comes, the shelves are bare, and that need still
exists, said Lt. Thea Lopez, Feds Feed Families operations officer for
the Department of the Navy. Hunger goes year-round.
Last year, the campaign brought in 9 million pounds of food.

Seabees from Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 5 and
military and civilian law enforce-
ment personnel at Naval Base
Ventura County took part in the
Thursday, June 5, annual Law
Enforcement Torch Run, a pre-
lude to the Special Olympics
Summer Games Invitational.
Nearly two dozen Seabees, run-
ning with Port Hueneme Police
Department personnel, gained
custody of the torch from the
Oxnard Police Department and
ran with it from the intersection
of Channel Islands Boulevard
and Ventura Road to the intersec-
tion of Hueneme and Edison
roads, a distance of 3.6 miles.
There, the Seabees handed it
off to California Highway Patrol
officers, who carried it to Missile
Park, where nearly a dozen Force
Protection personnel and mas-
ters-at-arms from the base were
gathered. They took possession
of the torch and ran the 4.7 miles
fromMissile Park to Mugu Rock,
where they handed it to campus
police fromCalifornia State Uni-
versity, Channel Islands.
The base personnel were joined
by an air traffic controller and
three Military Working Dogs who
wore their own T-shirts during
the run.
They enjoy getting out of the
kennel,said Master-at-Arms 1st
Class Scott Chilko, who ran with
Jake.
He was joined by Force Protec-
tion Officer Keith Robishaw, who
ran with Rocko, and Master-at-
Arms 2nd Class Cristina Colle-
sano, who ran with Pali. Several
other Force Protection personnel
and masters-at-arms ran, along
with Air Traffic Controller 1st
Class Robert Schueller.
Were all here to support Spe-
cial Olympics, Chilko said. Its
a great program.
Peggi Preston, director of the
Ventura County Region of Spe-
cial Olympics Southern Califor-
nia, coordinated all nine legs of
the Torch Run from San Luis
Obispo to the Ventura-Los An-
geles County line, where Los An-
geles-area law enforcement per-
sonnel began the final run to the
University of Southern Califor-
nia.
There, during the June 6 open-
ing ceremonies of the Special
Olympics Summer Games Invi-
tational, the torch was used to
light the cauldron along with a
torch being run fromthe Mexican
border north to USC and an-
other being run through the In-
land Empire.
More than 1,200 athletes with
intellectual disabilities were
scheduled to compete in the
three-day event, and more than
10,000 spectators were expect-
ed.
The Seabees said they enjoyed
the opportunity to not only get
some exercise, but to support Spe-
cial Olympics.
I wanted to come out and be
a part of this,said Builder Con-
structionman Benjamin Fletch-
er.
It was a good run for a great
cause, added Builder Construc-
tionman Jonathan Stinnett.
Lt. Matthew Riley, the chap-
lain for NMCB 5, coordinated
the battalions run and called it a
cause more than worthy of the
Navys involvement.
This is what we do, he said.
We show support for the people
we love and defend.

NBVC 2013 Consumer Condence Report
NAVAL BASE
VENTURA COUNTY
2013 CONSUMER
CONFIDENCE REPORT
IS MY TAP WATER SAFE TO DRINK?
Yes. Your drinking water meets all U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
California Department of Public Health (CDPH)
water quality standards.
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) is committed
to providing you complete and accurate information
regarding the safety of the water you drink.
Required annually by the CDPH, this Consumer
Confdence Report (CCR) includes information
showing the quality of the drinking water delivered
to personnel and residents at NBVC Point Mugu,
Port Hueneme, and San Nicolas Island (SNI) during
the previous calendar year. The report also includes
details about where your water comes from, what
it contains, and how it compares to State standards.
Note. This report contains important information
about your drinking water. Please share this
information with all the other people who drink
this water, especially those who may not have
received this notice directly (for example, people
in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and
businesses). You can do this by posting this public
notice in a public place or distributing copies by
hand or mail. Translate it, or speak with someone
who understands it.
Spanish: Este informe contiene informacin muy
importante sobre su agua potable. Tradzcalo
hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.
WHERE DOES MY WATER COME FROM?
Point Mugu and Port Hueneme
NBVC Point Mugu and Port Hueneme receive the
same drinking water as the City of Port Hueneme
and the Channel Islands Beach Community District,
which is purchased from the Port Hueneme Water
Agency (PHWA). The PHWA provides treatment to
groundwater that comes primarily from the United
Water Conservation District (United). United`s
water, in turn, comes from local groundwater
resources in the El Rio area of Ventura County. This
water is pumped from shallow wells drilled into the
Oxnard and Fox Canyon aquifers, which are fed by
the Santa Clara River drainage basin. The drainage
basin receives water from various sources such as:
percolative contributions from regional rainfall,
rivers, and streams; and to a far lesser degree
contribution from the percolation of wastewater
treatment plants, and agricultural runoff.
PHWA`s water treatment plant uses two different
types of state-of-the-art membrane fltration
technologies to treat United`s water. These
desalination techniques are known as reverse
osmosis (RO) and nano-fltration (NF). Three
treatment trains operate side-by-side and each
one produces between 1 and 1.5 million gallons
of drinking water every day. The treatment
process softens the water received from United by
lowering the mineral content and minimizes the
corrosiveness of the water through the addition of
sodium hydroxide. The water is disinfected using
chloramines instead of chlorine. The disinfectant is
changed from chloramines to chlorine temporarily
as needed to maintain water quality. This
disinfectant changeover typically occurs two times
per year with a duration of approximately four to
six weeks each time it occurs. Chloramines have
better taste, fewer odors, and reduce the formation
of Disinfection By-Products (DBP`s) in the water,
which is a known carcinogen. Fish owners should
chemically remove the chloramines from the
PHWA water when preparing fish tank water.
Failure to remove the chloramines could result
in risk to the aquatic life in the tank.
State water imported by the Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California (MWD) is an
additional water source for the PHWA. MWD
imports water from northern California via
the State Water Project through a network of
reservoirs, aqueducts, and pump stations. The State
water is fltered and disinfected by MWD surface
water treatment plants and brought into Ventura
County by Calleguas Municipal Water District
(Calleguas). Calleguas brings the State water to the
PHWA treatment plant, where it is blended with
the treated United water and then delivered to you.
The blended water contains about 2.5 parts
per million chloramines. The concentration of
chloramines is within the water quality standards
intended to safeguard public health.
In October 2001, United completed a Source
Water Assessment for its drinking water wells.
This assessment provides a survey of potential
contamination sources of the groundwater that
supplies United`s well. Activities that constitute
the highest risk are petroleum storage tanks and
fueling operations, septic systems, and abandoned
animal feedlots. United continues to monitor the
water quality of its delivered water. The most
recent update for the Water Sanitary Survey was
completed in January 2011 and was submitted to
CDPH. Copies of the Source Water Assessment
Survey / Surface Water Sanitary Survey are
available from United at (805) 525-4431.
In December 2002, MWD completed its Source
Water Assessment of its State Water Project
supplies. State Water Project supplies are
considered to be the most vulnerable to urban/
stormwater runoff, wildlife, agriculture, recreation,
and wastewater. A copy of the assessment can be
obtained by contacting MWD at (213) 217-6850.
San Nicolas Island
The Navy produces drinking water for NBVC
SNI through the desalination of sea water. The RO
treatment plant draws seawater from beach wells,
desalinates, and treats the water in two RO units.
The waste brine from the RO units is discharged to
a beach wet well system.
Additional water quality information for NBVC
SNI can be found on the NBVC website at
ht t p: / / www. cni c. navy. mi l / r egi ons/ cnr sw/
installations/navbase_ventura_county.html or by
contacting NBVCWater Quality ProgramManager
at (805) 982-2969.
HOW IS MY WATER MONITORED?
NBVC monitors the drinking water quality by
taking daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and
annual water samples according to federal and state
drinking water regulations. The site specifc tables
in this report list the drinking water constituents
that were detected during 2013 calendar year.
WHYARECONTAMINANTSINMYWATER?
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and
bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds,
reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over
the surface of the land or through the ground, it
dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in
some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up
substances resulting from the presence of animals
or from human activity. Contaminants that may be
present in source water it is treated include
the following:
Microbial Contaminants Viruses and bacteria,
which may come from
sewage treatment
plants, septic systems,
agricultural livestock
operations and wildlife.
lnorganic Contaminants Salts and metals, that can
be naturally-occurring or
result from urban storm
water runoff, industrial
or domestic wastewater
discharges, oil and gas
production, mining or
farming
Pesticides & Herbicides May come from a variety of
sources such as agriculture,
urban storm water runoff,
and residential uses..

Organic Chemicals Includingsyntheticandvolatileorganicchemicals,whichare
by-products of industrial processes and petroleum
production, and can also come from gas stations, urban
storm water runoff, agricultural application, and septic
systems.
Radioactive Can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas
production and mining activities.
To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA and CDPH prescribe regulations that
limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.
CDPH regulations also establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that provide the
same protection for public health.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS
or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and some infants can be particularly
at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking tap water from
their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on
appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial
contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Radon is a radioactive gas and known human carcinogen that you cannot see, taste, or
smell. Found throughout the U.S., radon can move up through the ground and into a
home through cracks and holes in the foundation. Radon can build up to high levels in
all types of homes. Radon can also get into indoor air when released from tap water as a
result of showering, washing dishes, and other household activities. Compared to radon
entering the home through soil, radon entering the home through tap water will in most
cases be a small source of radon in indoor air. Breathing air containing radon can lead to
lung cancer. Drinking water containing radon may also cause increased risk of stomach
cancer. If you are concerned about radon in your home, test the air in your home. Testing
is inexpensive and easy. Fix your home if the level of radon in your air is 4 picocuries per
liter of air (pCi/L) or higher. There are simple ways to fx a radon problemthat are not too
costly. For additional information, call your State radon program at (800) 745-7236 or
call EPA`s Radon Hotline at (800) SOS-RADON.
WATER CONSERVATION
Due to the drought, it is time for NBVC residents and personnal to focus on water
conservation. For more information on ways to conserve water, visit www.epa.gov/
watersense/ or contact NBVC Installation Energy Manger at (805) 982-4075.

Water Quality Data
The following table summarizes drinking water contaminants detected in the water
delivered to NBVC Port Hueneme and Point Mugu during the 2013 calendar year.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least
small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily
indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and
potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA`s Safe DrinkingWater Hotline at
(800) 426-4791. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in these tables is from
testing done January 1 through December 31, 2013. The State requires that we monitor
for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these
contaminants are not expected to vary signifcantly from year to year. Some of the data,
though representative of water quality, is more than one year old.

Parents whose children are registered at
Child and Youth Programs (CYP) at Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC) cannow
go online to sign up for hourly child care
and make payments.
CYP Installation Program Director Ja-
cob Munyon said the Navy Region South-
west CYP Online Services is now up and
running at NBVCPoint Mugu and NBVC
Port Hueneme.
Parents must first fill out a registration
packet so we can make sure theyre eligible
for CYP services, he explained. At that
time, theyll get a user name and password,
and they can use that to access the sys-
tem.
Parents can go online to sign up for up
to 10 hours of child care a week at the
Youth Center and up to 25 hours a week
at the Child Development Center. Cost is
$4 per hour per child.
Hourly child care is available from 6:15
a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Fri-

Lighthouse
A Seabee whos been in the Navy for
three years but producing music for eight
has formed a hip-hop band thats picking
up a fan base in Ventura County and in
Hollywood.
Called Roc*It Entertainment, the band
has performed at Bombay Bar & Grill in
Ventura and at Tru Hollywood and the
Federal Bar in Hollywood. On Armed
Forces Day May 17, a performance at the
Golden China in Ventura drew about 50
people.
This summer, the band hopes to release
its first LP.
Roc*It is the brainchild of Construction
Electrician Constructionman Curtis Lee
of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3.
We want to make this a positive name
in the community,Lee explains. Alot of
people see rap, and they think its not the
most positive music. With our group, we
feel we can make a difference.
The themes of violence, illegal drug use
and sexismthat pervade much of the genre
arent in Roc*Its music, Lee says.
We dont have that same mindset that
others put out there,he said. Were ser-
vice members, were married. But we have
previous lives weve lived, and Im able to
express that. Its like a diary a way for
us to express feelings.
While other band members have been
in flux, Equipment Operator 3rd Class
Simon Charumonta of NMCB4 has been
a constant. He and his wife, Equipment
Operator 3rd Class Taylor Charumonta
of NMCB 5, are housemates of Lee and
his wife, Construction Electrician Con-
structionman Chelsea Lee, a Reservist with
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
17.
The four spend hours each night discuss-
ing ideas for new songs and working out
arrangements on $5,000 of production
equipment in their home. The men practice
in the garage and the women offer cri-
tiques; Taylors voice can be heard on one
track.
Lyrics are explicit, although clean ver-
sions are in the works. Asked to come up
with a song that could be reprinted in The
Lighthouse, the two give a long hesitation
before Charumonta asks Lee, What about
Afraid?
Yes, thats perfect, Lee replies. Its a
love song to his wife.
Practicing rap songs in the garage of a
suburban neighborhood could have posed
a problem, but Lee and Charumonta
headed that off by visiting their neighbors
before they launched in.
We asked if there would be any conflict
and they said no, we were good to go,Lee
said. One neighbor said his wife goes to
sleep early, so we dont practice too late.
Theyve also been welcomed by local
businesses that knowtheyre getting a band
whose members arent using illegal drugs
and, since theyre electricians, know how
to set up their own equipment safely.
They knowwe wont do stupid things,
Lee said.
Roc*It hopes it can find a niche in a
genre that has evolved from urban voice
tomisogynistic gangsta raptoMacklemore
& Ryan Lewis Thrift Shop, which won
two Grammy Awards this year.
Lee started off playing brass instruments
in junior high school in his hometown of
San Antonio, then began producing music
eight years ago. Hes seen and benefited
from a lot of equipment upgrades and
laughs as Charumonta talks about the time
he listened to one of Lees first attempts
at production.
I felt bad but I just started laughing it
was so bad, Charumonta says.
Theyve put three videos on YouTube,
but only one blewup,getting about 9,000
views. The rest stayed under 1,000.
Now, with another Seabee acting as their
manager, theyre looking to expand their
social media presence, produce some vid-
eo biographies and get into merchandising.
Saturday, June 21, they will be performing
for free at the Relay for Life of Port Hue-
neme, and theyve booked upcoming dates
at two Oxnard restaurants.
Its very competitive, Lee says of the
music business. Impassionate about this
and driven, and I would love to do this for
a living, but Im not going to drop every-
thing for it. I still have a responsibility to
the military and to my wife, which Ill
never ignore. None of us will.
Seabees form hip-hop band
With todays electronics, Roc*It doesnt
need any musical instruments to create hip-
hop music.

UCT 2
SANGLEY POINT, Philippines
Green Diver, back down the ladder until
your helmets awash!
Make it hot!
Switch off!
These were some of the phrases heard
during the month of May as divers from
the U.S. Navy and the Philippines worked
together on port/harbor recovery scenarios
during this years Exercise Balikatan.
Throughout nine grueling days of high
heat and periodic downpours, Underwater
Construction Team (UCT) 2 trained eight
Philippine Navy (PN) UCTdivers on such
topics as surface supplied diving systems
and procedures, underwater cutting and
welding techniques and procedures, diving
casualty management and neurological ex-
aminations.
From the makeshift classroom to under
water, all PNdivers received valuable train-
ing that goes hand in hand with the strate-
gic goals of Balikatan 2014.
The Filipino divers are outstanding,
resourceful and very attentive,said Build-
er 2nd Class (SCW/DV) Joseph Hophan,
the project supervisor for UCT 2s Con-
struction Diving Detachment Charlie
(CDD/C). We had to take a crawl-walk-
run approach to our mission here in the
Philippines. Diving is already very danger-
ous; when you add cutting and welding to
the equation, your focus shifts toward safe-
ty and the steps we take to mitigate risk.
They didgreat andlearnedat animpressive
rate.
The PNdivers were givenprojects sothey
could practice various types of welds. Once
they felt comfortable withwhat they learned
during topside (dry) welding, they were put
to the test underwater. Fromproper termi-
nologytoelectrode placement tospeed, they
were able to experience how hard it is to
weld underwater. I dont think they real-
ized how hard it was going to be, said
Construction Mechanic 2nd Class (SCW/
EXW/DV) NathanEmmett, leadwelder for
the detachment. Once you call for power,
it was lights out, the visibility goes to zero.
I was surprised at how fast they learned.
Along with cutting and welding under-
water for the first time, the PNUCTdivers
were able to gain valuable knowledge on
side scan sonar techniques and proce-
dures.
We were able to use their system and
train them on what they have, said Build-
er 2nd Class (SCW/DV) David Madmon,
hydrographic survey technician for the de-
tachment. I think it resonates more when
youre able to train them on a piece of
equipment theyalreadyown. Whenwe leave
theycancontinue topractice what we taught
them.
The Philippines was the fourth of seven
stops spanning six countries across the Pa-
cific for members of UCT 2s CDD/C. On
this deployment, the detachment is conduct-
ing inspection, maintenance and repair of
various underwater andwaterfront facilities
and is participating in four Pacific Fleet
exercises.

Suits, ties and conservative dresses re-
placed school uniforms Wednesday, June
11, as about 400 eighth-graders at E.O.
Green Junior High School in Oxnard
took part in Portfolio Day, showing their
poise and sharing their work with local
professionals, many from the areas larg-
est employer: Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty.
Each year, just before school ends,
eighth-graders sit down one-on-one with
adult volunteers who rate the contents
of their school portfolio and critique
their personal presence confidence,
friendliness and eye contact included.
Carlos Boisselier, an engineer at Naval
Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme
Division (NSWC PHD), has been volun-
teering at this event since 2006.
I learn a lot from these kids, he said.
Some are very enthusiastic, some have
reservations because its their first time
doing this, but they all learn from the
experience.
He makes sure to explain that the days
lessons will carry over for years to come,
whether its a job interview or an aca-
demic interview.
A couple of these kids had excellent
interviewing skills, he said. Their an-
swers were well thought-out and articu-
lated.
Holding a large binder filled with
schoolwork, including a brochure shed
made for a Spanish class marketing a
make-believe resort in Spain, eighth-
grader Jacquelin Sanchez said the day
requires a lot of preparation.
I was really nervous, but in reality, it
was all worth it all that hard work,
she said.
Gil Cajala, the Exceptional Family
Member liaison at the Fleet & Family
Support Center (FFSC), said some
youngsters had strong charisma but a
weak portfolio; others had outstanding
work but no confidence.
When you have both is when you can
really succeed, he explained.
For Lori Steinhauer, a work and fam-
ily life consultant with the FFSC, there
was one girl among the many students
she interviewed that day who will be hard
to forget.
She had such good eye contact, and
I asked her about it, Steinhauer said.
She said her mom was looking for work,
and shed been coaching her on job in-
terviews.
In addition, she said, All the practic-
ing shed been doing at home for Portfo-
lio Day had given her mom some confi-
dence, too.
Steinhauer, who was volunteering for
a third year, said she wished all schools
had an event like this.
Shy or confident, these students have
all these gems they discover in themselves
that we get to see, she said.
Diane Gomez, the school counselor
who helped organize the event, agreed.
This is a rite of passage for these kids,
she said. We see them blossom before
our eyes.
Added Carol Short, chair of the lan-
guage arts department, This is my fa-
vorite day of the year.
Its a tradition, she explained.
They know all year that its coming
up, she said, and they rise to the occa-
sion.
Cajala summed up the day:
The future, he said, does seem pret-
ty bright.

the Interviewers Rating Form that judges
students on whether they are appropriately
dressed, articulate, enthusiastic and
friendly, well-groomed and self-confident
and whether they have good eye contact and
a strong voice. Their portfolio is judged on
organization, quality of work, originality and
creativity, style, grammar, neatness and
overall effort.

NOSC Ventura County
Navy Operational Support Center
(NOSC) Ventura County held a time-hon-
ored change of command ceremony June
7 aboard Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme.
During the ceremony, Capt. Thomas
A. Long relieved Capt. Ron G. Oswald
as commanding officer.
Guests included Rear Adm. Russell E.
Allen, deputy commander of the U.S. 7th
Fleet, who spoke to the crowd of more
than 120 military service members, retir-
ees, civilians, families and friends. Allen
said NOSC Ventura County has been
fortunate to have a leader such as Os-
wald.
Allen presented Oswald with the Legion
of Merit Award for his distinguished per-
formance of duty and achieving the high-
est levels of personnel and operational
readiness while serving as commanding
officer. Part of the award citation lauded
his inspiring leadership of 33 staff, 39
assigned units and 1,200 selected reserv-
ists for the flawless mobilization and de-
mobilization of 400 Sailors.
That mobilization provided 70,000 man
days in support of overseas contingency
operations.
We have come a long way since the
merger of NOSCPoint Mugu and NOSC
Port Hueneme to NOSC Ventura Coun-
ty, Oswald said. As I thought about my
time here, there are a couple of events
that stick out in my mind. I remember
hiking the Chumash Trail and taking a
command photo with every Sailor that
helped the NOSC win the 2011 and 2013
NOSC of the Year achievement.
NOSC Venturas Sailors have excelled
in everything theyve done, he added.
Their work ethic, resiliency and com-
mitment to excellence have made NOSC
Ventura County what it is today. Im
humbled by their selfless dedication and
feel privileged to have been a part of this
command.
Long thanked Oswald for turning over
an incredible command and an even
greater crew.
The NOSC crew embodies the honor,
courage, and commitment that has made
our Navy Reserve force, our Navy and
our country great, Long said. I assure
you, our future is bright.
Oswald will report for duty to Com-
mander, U.S. 7th Fleet, in Yokosuka, Ja-
pan.

NSWC PHD
As Asian Pacific American Heritage
Month, May is the time to acknowledge
the many contributions, achievements and
cultural enrichments brought to the Unit-
ed States by Asian Pacific Americans.
This years theme, Diverse Leadership
and Expanding Opportunity: an Impera-
tive for America,was celebrated at Naval
Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme
Division (NSWC PHD), May 29.
Capt. Burt Espe, NSWC PHD com-
mander, spoke to those in attendance
about the importance of diverse ideas,
experiences, expertise and backgrounds.
We are particularly pleased,Espe said,
to have employees of Asian Pacific de-
scent throughout our workforce. Yet, its
important that we take time to remember
all the different cultures that make Port
Hueneme Division so unique. Without
diversity, we would not be the successful
and creative command that we are today.
As commander, I personally feel it is im-
portant to promote inclusiveness and di-
versity throughout the workforce.
The event included Polynesian/Hawai-
ian food, live music, Polynesian dancers
and hula dancing, all sponsored by NSWC
PHDs Civilian Morale, Welfare and Rec-
reation Committee in conjunction with the
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
Asian Pacific Islander focus group.
NSWC PHD honors Asian
Pacific American heritage

Tell combat photographers theyre
headed out on assignment and you can
imagine what theyll want to bring on the
plane: lenses, bigger lenses and as much
camera gear as they can pack.
Not Mass Communications Specialist
1st Class Chris Fahey.
I dont want a telephoto lens, says
Fahey, whos assigned to Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3. I
want the widest lens and the smallest cam-
era and as much safety equipment as
possible.
His need to get as close to the action as
he can is one of the traits that won Fahey
the titles of Navy Journalist of the Year
and MC of the Year (Sea) for 2013.
NMCB 3 was deployed to the Pacific
for much of the year. Week after week,
Fahey sent packages of stories and photos
from Seabees playing with youngsters
in the Philippines to construction shots
taken in the mud.
Before he deployed, he covered the
Springs Fire, which burned more than
24,000 acres in Ventura County.
Fahey, 34, has been in the Navy for 12
years.
When you get to tell someones story,
he says, its an honor.
Heres a look at some of Faheys work
over the past year and his stories from
behind the lens.
NMCB 3 Seabee named
Journalist of the Year
In the Russell Egnor Navy Media Awards for
calendar year 2013, MC1 Chris Fahey of Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion 3 was named Navy
Journalist of the Year and MC of the Year (Sea).

at the Natividad Health Clinic in support of Exercise Balikatan 2013, an annual Philippine-U.S. bilateral exercise.

Behind the lens: Its hard not making yourself part of your own story. I waited on my belly with my camera up for
what felt like an eternity for one of the many children given free check-ups that day to look back at me. Finally, this
little boy did and all I wanted to do was hold his hand or give him a hug.

Squadron (HSC) 3, drop water from a 360-gallon
Bambi bucket on the Springs Fire near Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.
Behind the lens: I remember cursing my arms
for not being long enough during this photo. I
was able to capture the action (water releasing)
and the scorched ground the water was dousing
during the 2013 Ventura County wildfires, but
just barely. Im leaning out of the side window
with the camera strap fighting against me thanks
to the rotary blades above. It felt like someone
was physically trying to rip my camera from my
hand. So much fun.

Behind the lens: This image makes me happy every time I look at it. We were at a volunteer project working with
local children in an Okinawan district. Its the most amazing high-five that has or will ever be given.

Watson of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3 uses his weapon to push Constantine
wire away from his face while running a six-hour
endurance course at the Marine Corps Jungle
Warfare Training Center (JWTC).
Behind the lens: I used a wide, wide lens that
allowed me to get within just a few inches of
this Seabees face. It looks like Im about a foot
away, but in reality, our feet are pretty much tied
together. Thats the only way I know to shoot. If
my subject is underneath five feet of mud water,
then I am too. Long lenses rob you from feeling
what your subject is feeling. If I didnt know
what it was like to have nasty jungle water in my
underwear, I wouldnt be able to write about how
it made my subject feel not as well, anyway.

what felt like an eternity for one of the many children given free check-ups that day to look back at me. Finally, this
little boy did and all I wanted to do was hold his hand or give him a hug.
April 1: In this photo taken during exercise Balikatan 2013, what looks to be a roadside cross in the
Philippines is actually something else entirely.
Behind the lens: This image probably had the most dramatic effect on me than any other image
I shot in 2013. At first, I thought it was just a memorial cross, similar to those found alongside
highways in the U.S. The blue cross was actually the top of a Catholic church that was instantly
buried in ash and mud during the early 1990s eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines. Inside
remain the bodies of several families who were caught in the eruption and couldnt make it out
before the ground swallowed them whole. I probably looked at this cross 50 times, and out of all the
things I thought it could be, I never imagined it to be the top of a buried church filled with ghosts.
Blew my mind.
April 13: In Zambales, Philippines, three resident girls at the Shepherd of the Hills Childrens Home
make jewelry in their room. During a nap or bed time, up to six girls will lay on thin padded mats on
the floor. A group of Joint Civil Military Operations Task Force (JCMOTF) volunteers installed 30 fans
in three dormitories while in Zambales for Balikatan 2013.
Behind the lens: Some of my friends who look at this photo always comment on how bare the room
is and despite being in the Philippines, how cold the floor looks. Its sad to them. I hate that. These
girls were having a great day, and despite being orphans from different displaced families, they
loved each other very much. They dont know or care that the room wasnt filled with electronics or
furniture. They dont need such things to be happy. They sit close to each other and just play. Its a
very happy photo.

in Okinawa, Japan.
Behind the lens: This image makes me happy every time I look at it. We were at a volunteer project working with

Battalion (NMCB) 3s Timor-Leste Construction Civic Action Detail (CCAD), and William Nesbitt,
assigned to the Australian Defence Forces 1st Combat Engineering Regiment, place the lid on a
new seven-foot septic tank during Sapper 13, which lasted 28 days and involved construction of a
new school, outside bathroom facility, kitchenette and playground for the local neighborhood.
Behind the lens: When the Aussie engineers and Seabees were building this septic tank, I knew
the only photo worth capturing would be of them sealing it up from the inside. I was squatting in a
few inches of standing water and genuinely worried the Australian Royal engineer would make good
on his joke to trap the camera guy in until lunch.
Oct. 26: In Metinaro, Timor-Leste, U.S. Marine Corps Combat Engineer Lance Cpl. Jose Diaz, assigned
to 1st Platoon, 9th Engineering Support Battalion, Engineering Company A, spot welds the top of a
fence post during the final days of Sapper 13, a joint exercise involving Royal Australian engineers,
U.S. Navy Seabees, Marine Corps engineers and the Timor-Leste Defense Force (F-FDTL).
Behind the lens: This photo is the most technically complex image Ive ever captured. The welding
sparks are in focus while everything less than an eighth of an inch around that specific area is out
of focus. Thats like finding winning lottery numbers in a bowl of alphabet soup. To achieve this, I
used a very, very difficult technique sought after by every photographer complete and utter luck.
Ill never be able to reproduce this image because I honestly have no idea how I did it to begin with,
but I love the way it looks.

NMCB 4
Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion (NMCB) 4 participated in
last months Naval Expeditionary Combat
Command (NECC) Integrated Exercise,
or NIEX, at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme.
The purpose of the NIEX, said Lt.
Cmdr. Michael Guzzi, operations officer
for NMCB 4, is to get the NECC units
to work together as one adaptive force
package, under the umbrella of a naval
expeditionary force.
NMCB4 participated in the May 12-23
table topexercise as a construction force
providing humanitarian aid to a nation
devastated by natural disasters. No con-
struction operations were performed, but
the planning was completed as would have
been done in an actual disaster.
The most challenging part of the ex-
ercise was the coordinate piece,said Chief
Engineering Aid Alwin Lau, one of the
watchstanders during the exercise. It can
be a challenge contacting the correct peo-
ple when they are spread over multiple
time zones.
Guzzi called the teams performance
outstanding.
The challenge was working in a simu-
lated crisis environment with 12 other
units from across NECC, he said. We
gained valuable experience.
It helped that we just came back from
our field training exercise,Lau said. We
actually had all of the training first, and
then had the exercise after.

tions for an August deployment.

NAVFAC EXWC
On a recent spring morning, 14 Seabees from
Naval Facilities Expeditionary and Warfare Center
(NAVFAC EXWC) gathered at the Ventura River
bottom and met with Derek Poultney, the protec-
tion coordinator for the Ventura Hillsides Conser-
vancy, and California State Parks Ranger Geno
Lucich.
The Seabees were answering a call for volunteers
from the conservancy, a land trust that aims to
protect and conserve open space by acquiring land,
maintaining protected lands and educating the
public about local natural resources.
After a short introduction to the program and
an update on the status of the river bottom from
the Main Street bridge to the ocean, the Seabees
put on their protective gloves, picked up tools and
started clearing and removing trash that had col-
lected from the previous months rains.
MA2 (SCW) Gerald Baker, volunteer coordina-
tor for NAVFAC EXWC, said habitat restoration
projects like this one help maintain the integrity
and safety of the Earths resources by preventing
trash frombeing washed out to the ocean and wind-
ing up on local beaches.
During the three-hour cleanup Saturday, May
17, the group collected more than 10 bags of trash,
two bicycles and a mini motorcycle.
The Seabees also removed a makeshift raft that
had been floating on the river for more than a
year.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Were moving!
Its challenging, exciting, frustrating.
Here we go, again!
I dont want to leave my friends my
school!
Dad/Mom just got home from de-
ployment, and now were leaving!
I finally have a BFF!
Moving brings about a lot of feelings,
stresses and new experiences. Research
shows that military children who move
frequently:
Average four times more moves than
an average child in the United States.
Often have no long-term negative
effects.
Often participate in more social ac-
tivities because they have more oppor-
tunities to do so.
As teenagers, can be more likely to
show depression and can be more upset
because of loss of friendships.
May have a decline in academic per-
formance right after the move.
Adjusted better when they were pre-
pared for the move ahead of time.
The most important factor that helps
kids adjust well to a move is the relation-
ship they have with their parents. So,
how do we make a move easier on our
military kids?
One way is to be as upfront about the
move as we can be. As soon as children
learn about a move, they begin to adjust,
even if it sounds like complaining. The
more time they have to adjust, the eas-
ier the relocation becomes.
Another approach we can take is to
find out as much as we can about the
new location. Google it. Scope it out.
Have the children research what the new
area is known for, nearby activities, in-
teresting stories or history about the
area.
Since one of the difficulties about
moving is a sense of the unknown, allow
your child or teen to make a special box
just for moving-day essentials. Give them
choices about what items to keep with
them while in transition. A favorite book
or toy or game can be comforting.
Give them an opportunity to plan
their new room. Ask them to sort out
their things and plan to have packing
dates where you pack together and have
some family time at the end of the day.
Not every member of the family ex-
periences the move in the same way.
Coping skills may also differ. One may
want to listen to music, while another
wants to shoot hoops, paint or keep a
journal or dairy. Encourage your child
to stay in touch Facebook and email
can be important ways to maintain
friendships and family contact, as long
as parents can monitor use, time and

Find support to deal with your own
stress about the move away from the
kids, but dont be reluctant to share feel-
ings, apprehensions and anticipations
about the move in a positive and open
manner. Make a list together of those
things that will be missed, but also those
things that can be exciting to discover
and try. Help your child plan their good-
byes not only to their friends and ex-
tended family, but to favorite places
youve come to appreciate over time.
With supportive parenting, military
kids are strong and able to deal with
many challenges. They gain confidence
as they realize they have the ability to
survive new experiences. Family ties can
become even closer as family members
realize they can rely on one another.

During the mosquito season, there are
a number of things you and your fam-
ily can do to protect yourselves from
excessive bites:
Stay indoors at dawn and dusk, if
possible, when mosquitoes are most ac-
tive.
Wear a long-sleeved shirt or blouse,
long pants and hat when going into mos-
quito areas such as wetlands or woods.
Use mosquito repellent when needed.
Carefully follow instructions on the la-
bel. Repellents with DEET are very ef-
fective and are widely used to reduce the
risk of bites. Take special care when ap-
plying repellents on your children!

NAWCWD Public Affairs
Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Di-
vision (NAWCWD) Point Mugu recently
hosted a visit for more than 20 sixth-grade
Gifted and Talented Education students
fromOxnards Christa McAuliffe Elemen-
tary School.
NAWCWDs Silvia Faulstich, Larry
Hoge, Mitchell Morrow and Edgar To-
mines had spent several weeks during this
school year with GATE teacher Patricia
Wooden, helping students build and pro-
gram robots.
For the past two years, engineers have
volunteered in my classroom, Wooden
said. They have encouraged students in
critical thinking and problem-solving
skills.
The students were invited to cap their
recent science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) experience with a
May 1 tour at Point Mugu.
The purpose of the visit was to give
the students an idea of what kind of work
the engineers and scientists do at the Na-
val Air Systems Command laboratories
and how student interest in STEM-re-
lated classes can be turned into careers,
said Toufue Chang, director of the Air-
borne Electronic Attack Division in the
Avionics Department at NAWCWDPoint
Mugu.
The tour began at the Target Systems
Division building, where Richard Myer,
Modeling and Simulation Laboratory en-
gineer fromthe Threat and Target Systems
Department, showed students how to fly
an unmanned target system. Several stu-
dents took turns flying one, and at the
end, a virtual parachute was deployed for
the successful recovery sequence of the
target.
John Gurka, NAVAIR Ranges chief
scientist, and Brian Krinsley, chief engi-
neer, explained the functions and features
of NAVAIRs Sea Ranges and showed
weapons-testing videos to the young audi-
ence before they visited the Clifton Evans
Electronic Warfare Laboratory. There,
engineer Jenifer Koch explained the Ad-
vanced Threat Simulator Systemdisplays.
The students experimented with the flight
simulator and engaged in hands-on com-
bat simulation before moving to the Sys-
tems Engineering Department in the Air-
borne Electronic Attack Weapons Systems
Support Laboratory (WSSL).
NAWCWD WSSL lead, Richard Yale,
let the students get their hands on the EA-
18G cockpit simulator.
At the Joint Electronic Warfare Effects
Laboratory (JEWEL) in the Avionics De-
partment, students tried out various com-
munications systems under the supervision
of JEWEL engineers Geoffrey McStroul,
Peter Moua and Casey Deyle. Students
took turns at the controls of simulated
unmanned systems and monitored their
progress on overhead 3-D screens.
Cmdr. Jon-Paul Archer, executive as-
sistant of Fleet Logistics Support Squad-
ron (VR) 55, then met the students outside
the VR-55 hangar at Point Mugus flight-
line. Archer explained some of the mission
capabilities of the C-130 cargo aircraft and
allowed the students to climb inside the
belly and cockpit of the squadrons C-130
to get a firsthand view.
The last stop for the students was out-
side the main gate at the command archi-
val center, where Phillis Thrower led the
students on a historical tour of the mem-
orabilia, missile displays and artifacts that
span a 70-year period fromthe early 1940s
to present day. The students learned about
the evolution of Point Mugus electronic
warfare programand spent about 30 min-
utes viewing the displays and artifacts.
After the tour, several of my students
told me they want to join the service or
work at the base,Wooden said. Person-
ally, it was rewarding for me to see the
students so engaged and excited.
Chang said the students, Wooden and
the adult chaperones were all impressed
with what that saw.
They were excited and captivated by
the neat things that we do at NAWCWD
and Naval Base Ventura County, Chang
said. The hands-on simulation experi-
ences were a big hit with them. I sawquite
a few future scientists and engineers as
well as future fighter pilots today.

Pacific Partnership Public Affairs
WESTKUPANG, Indonesia Guests
and service members fromIndonesia, New
Zealand, Singapore and the United States
attended a ceremony June 9 that conclud-
ed the mission of Pacific Partnership 2014
(PP14) in Indonesia.
The PP14 mission in Kupang and Rote
Ndao involved service members, govern-
ment officials and volunteers exchanging
information on topics such as entomol-
ogy, ophthalmology and dental and vet-
erinary practices. In addition, engineers
and U.S. Navy Seabees worked on several
projects, including a newclassroomat the
Tuadale School in West Kupang, a medi-
cal facility in Baun and two solar-powered
water pumps on the isle of Rote Ndao.
During the ceremony, held at the Tua-
dale School, leaders reflected upon the
efforts put forth by those who were in-
volved and expressed their thanks for all
the hard work.
It was complicated to perform all of
these activities simultaneously with lim-
ited resources,said Indonesian Navy First
Adm. Deddy M. Pribadi, commander of
the 7th Primary Naval Base. The events
ran very smoothly, and I am thankful for
all the participants and supporters who
contributed to the success of these
events.
U.S. Navy Capt. Rodney Moore, com-
modore of the 30th Naval Construction
Regiment headquartered at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme,
remarked on the increased interoperabil-
ity between the participants and howthese
triumphs would impact the people of Ku-
pang for years to come.
Our projects and engagements im-
proved cooperation between the U.S.,
Indonesian militaries, non-government
organizations and local government of-
ficials,Moore said. By working shoulder
to shoulder with our Indonesian and hu-
manitarian partners, we built trust, respect
and teamwork, and exchanged techniques.
The intent was to impart knowledge and
skills that will last well after the mission
is over.
Many said they enjoyed having people
from other nations to work with and
looked forward to working with them
again in the future.
Pacific Partnership goes beyond the
numbers of people providing medical,
dental and veterinary services, or the num-
ber of patients seen or the structures that
are built, said Moore. We believe this is
a more sustainable approach and is better
suited to empower the local community.
Our goal is that the relationships we fos-
tered and skills we exchanged will outlast
any physical infrastructure we put in
place.
As PP14 wrapped up its mission in Ku-
pang and Rote Ndao, participants were
gearing up for the next episode of the mis-
sion in Dili, Timor-Leste.
2014 Pacific
Partnership

Indonesia
of retired Seabees arranged to have it do-
natedtothe museumas part of its exhibit on
life on the homefront during World War II.
Last September, the marquee was moved
toSantaPaulafor apower wash, thenhauled
toNaval Base VenturaCounty(NBVC) Port
Hueneme, for repairs.
Whenthe volunteer welders separatedthe
marquee into its two parts, they quickly de-
termined the base had to be replaced.
The metal wasnt strong enough to sup-
port the crown, Rush said. Its going to
need new support beams as well as new
metal.
Odd, jagged holes had been cut into the
base, underminingits structural integrityeven
more.
We could tell from the get-go that this
would have to be redone, said Wes Calder,
a civilian welder at the CED.
The crown, however, is sturdier.
Its built more like an airplane, Calder
said. Theres just enoughtoholdit together.
They knewwhat they were doing.
Steelworker 2ndClass Hanalei Youngsaid
hes enjoying the project.
Alot of Seabees went tothe theater back
in the day, he said. Im glad to have this
opportunity to work on history.
Hes learned more than most.
I just learned two months ago what a
marquee is, he said. I didnt know the
word.
Calder is also enjoying the project.
Its definitely unique,he said. Its fun. I
always lookforwardtodoingsomethingdif-
ferent. This isnt that sameoldsonganddance
its totally different.

ficer of NBVC, gave the keynote address
during the Wednesday, June 4, ceremony,
and was one of four who placed wreaths
alongside the 9-11 Memorial in front of
Building 1, NBVC headquarters. Joining
him was Boatswains Mate 2nd Class
George Oteng, the Junior Sailor of the
Quarter.
Placing a second wreath were Capt.
Scott Loeschke, chief staff officer, and
Electronics Technician 1st Class Christo-
pher Huddleston, Senior Sailor of the
Quarter.
The Battle of Midway in 1942 lasted
three days. By June 7, 307 Americans had
been killed and 145 aircraft destroyed,
along with a carrier and one destroyer.
But on the Japanese side, 4,800 had been
killed. Lost were 292 aircraft, four carriers
and one cruiser. Seven more ships were
severely damaged.
The battle has gone down in history as
a lesson in American perseverance, deter-
mination and spirit.

for only $5 a night. There are also five-
person tents for $6 and six-person tents
for $7. All types of camping accessories
are also available, including sleeping pads,
lanterns, sleeping bags and stoves.
Bicycles can be rented for $15 a day.

porters were told not to interact
with the children or staff. Follow-
up questions had to be directed to
an HHS official in Washington,
D.C. The HHSmade photos avail-
able to the media.
On that day, there were 180
teens at the facility, but officials
said they expected it would reach
its capacity of 575 within a week.
Only children between the ages of
13 and 17 stay there; the girls wear
pink hoodies supplied by HHS,
and the boys wear gray.
The tour was ledby BobGarcia,
the regional administrator for the
HHS Administration of Children
and Families.
Our paramount concern is the
safety and well-being of the chil-
dren, he said as the visitors
base public affairs officers includ-
ed showed IDs and signed in
before being allowed inside the
privacy fence.
The facility is the second of its
type in the United States. The first
opened in May at Joint Base San
Antonio-Lackland in Texas and
has a capacity of 1,200. NBVC
began accepting children Friday,
June 6. Athird facility opened last
week at Fort Sill, Okla., and can
house 1,200.
These facilities are being created
because of an unexpected surge
of children fromCentral America
making their way through Mexico
and into the United States. Some
60,000 are expected to cross the
U.S. border this year, a number
that federal agencies had not an-
ticipated and were unprepared to
accommodate. They turned to
U.S. military bases for help.
According to the Department
of Homeland Security, the chil-
dren undergo a health screening
andimmigrationprocessingbefore
theyre taken to a short-termfacil-
ity for another medical check and
immunizations. Once theyre med-
ically cleared, HHS houses them
in one of the temporary shelters
until they can be placed with rela-
tives or a sponsor pending immi-
gration proceedings.
At NBVC Port Hueneme, that
temporary shelter is Building 267,
which began as a warehouse and
was converted in 2007 into the
Navy MobilizationProcessing Site
(NMPS), where Reserve Sailors
stayedwhile training for upcoming
deployments.
NMPS was last used in June
2013. AccordingtoLt. Cmdr. Karl
Zamora, formerly incharge of the
facility, an average of 150 Sailors
a week stayed there, but at times,
it did reach its maximum of 575.
Today, except for signs on doors
saying No Alcohol on Premesis,
theres little indication that the
building once housed adults, let
alone Sailors. The girls bunk beds
have stuffed animals on the pil-
lows, X-Men and Captain Amer-
ica prints hang in the hallways,
and the womens shower stalls
have Hello, Kitty and Minnie
Mouse shower curtains.
The buildings warehouse days
are more apparent. The floor is
concrete, but its beenpaintedblue.
The concrete walls andfixtures are
beige. Belowthe highceilings hang
industrial ductwork and lighting.
Baffles have been installed above
the walls in an effort to minimize
noise.
The hallways are decoratedwith
the teenagers drawings and edu-
cational posters. One drawing
mentions Guatemala. Posters tell
the stories of President Obama,
Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa
Parks and Harriet Tubman.
One poster reads: Bullying is
not original, not cool, not wel-
come.
Garcia said that in the living
areas, the teens are grouped by
gender and age, with those 13 to
15 years old separated from the
16- and 17-year-olds.
There are 10 dormitory rooms,
eachwith50 to60 beds each. Each
teen is issued linens, a hygiene kit
andclothing, includingunderwear,
socks, T-shirts and pants, a coat,
a pair of shoes andthe ubiquitious
pink or gray hoodie.
Soon after they arrive, the chil-
dren meet with one of 45 case
managers, all of whom speak
Spanish, in an upstairs warren of
temporary offices and cubicles
equipped with laptops and tele-
phones.
Garcia said the case managers
try to connect the teenagers with
their families andarrange for them
to be released to a relative or to a
vetted sponsor who agrees to take
the child to all mandated court
appearances and immigration
hearings. According to the Ad-
ministration for Children and
Families, the average stay ina tem-
porary shelter is 35 days.
Garcia said 12 children had al-
ready cycled through the NBVC
facility in the first week it was
open.
Each child is allowed two 10-
minute phone calls weekly. More
are allowed if the calls involve the
Immigration and Naturalization
Service.
According to the daily schedule
shown to the visiting journalists,
the children wake up and shower
between 5:45 and 7 each morning.
Breakfast is from 7:15 to 8 a.m.,
then theres half an hour of morn-
ing exercise.
From 8:30 a.m. to noon, then
for another hour after lunch, the
teens attend English and math
classes. The classrooms are deco-
rated with typical educational
posters: place value, fractions, the
definition of citizenship.
From 2 to 3:30 p.m., the teens
are outside for recreation and
snacks. Theres more instruction
from3:30 to 5 p.m., including vo-
cational classes, arts and crafts,
work readiness and CPR train-
ing.
Dinner is from 5 to 6 p.m.,
showers are from 6 to 7 p.m.,
snack time is from 7:15 to 7:45
p.m., then theres an hour and 15
minutes of movie time or, right
now, World Cup coverage.
The teens head to the dorm
rooms at 9 p.m., and its lights out
at 9:30 p.m.
Garcia said the current level of
staffing is one adult for every 12
children, 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. Most of the adult
staff wore T-shirts emblazoned
with Southwest Key Programs,
an Austin, Texas, company.
Security is provided by AKAL,
the same company that guards the
base gates, but none of the guards
inside the privacy fence is armed,
Garcia said.
At one end of Building 267,
separated by a wide hallway, is the
enfermeria, or medical clinic.
Garcia was precise in describing
the staffing of this area to the me-
dia: three nurse practitioners or
physicianassistants, five registered
nurses, five licensed vocational
nurses, five certified nursing as-
sistants and 30 masters-level be-
havioral clinicians. In addition, he
said, theres one pediatric physi-
cian, one emergency medical ser-
vices (EMS) unit and one clinical
psychologist on call.
There is a three-minute re-
sponse time for EMS if need be,
Garcia said. This has been re-
hearsed and practiced.
The tour also included the eat-
ing area. Food is being provided
by Scofield Catering & Manage-
ment of Ventura, whichhas a food
preparation trailer and a sanita-
tion station on site. Thursdays
lunch was pizza bread, Caesar
salad, applesauce, trail mix and
milk.
The teens carried trays to large
white tents to eat. Tables had con-
diment baskets with hot sauce,
steak sauce and mustard.
Across from the tents, a large
dirt field has been graded and
cones have been set up. Within
days it would be a soccer field,
Garcia said.
The current agreement calls for
the Department of Defense to
provide these temporary shelters
for 120 days.
The Fiscal Year 2014 appro-
priation for the program is $868
million.

Site at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme that is now
being used to house up to 575 teens caught crossing the U.S. border
without an adult.
Our paramount
concern is the
safety and well-
being of the
children.
